    Look at the requirements for this job!?

    Can't say why the ratings are required, but apparently these things are becoming more prevalent. I had a buddy intercepted by one near the TX coast. He was moving along at a pretty good clip in his RV-6 and had the thing pull up a couple hundred feet off his wing. It pulled away then circled...

    Gay Terrorists Today??? READ THIS!

    mar - Even not knowing avbug's style, I'd have to assume he was joking. Lighten up. Hey, I liked that Pulp Fiction! "Hey, look man, I didn't mean to shoot the son of a bitch! The gun went off. I don't know why."

    engine priming

    Diesel ! :) C-90 (about the same as O-200) injects prime into the manifold above the carb.

    Just what we don't need!

    Local Houston radio (KPRC) just said no weapons were found on the passengers.

    Gay Terrorists Today??? READ THIS!

    I have to say though, if I was on that flight I'd probably want to "convince" those folks to come out of the lav - like right now. They may have been working on membership in the mile high club, or putting a bomb together. After that attempted shoe bombing nothing seems too strange. They...

    Loss of US Jobs Effecting Airline Biz?

    NAFTA is a capitalistic effort, albeit a flawed one. Flawed in that it offers unfair advantage to 3rd world mexico over the US by not equalizing the respective economic footing on which we're based. In other words, we abide by much more stringent regulations (enviro, health, safety, etc) than...

    Attacking Iraq. A rapist's perspective.

    I have to disagree with this point. There has to be a firm distinction of what a US citizen is, what rights that person is born with or granted and what role government plays according to our Constitution. Without this distinction, our soverignty is essentially totally undermined. As...

    Attacking Iraq. A rapist's perspective.

    After reading the FoxNews article attached, it looks like clinton thinks Iraq quite possibly has nuclear weapons. If this is the case, then clinton's selfish inaction and bumbling incompetence has failed millions of Americans, past and present, beyond measure. His suggesting that we wait is...

    Attacking Iraq. A rapist's perspective.

    Let's look at this little comment and suppose that Texas style justice includes making someone pay a substantial price for a criminal offense. That sounds fine to me. What's the problem with this - not tollerant enough for you?! After reading the other little comment "U.S. has a long history...

    Still gona change careers?

    you got that right, dog. If my hair keeps falling out, I'll probably just go ahead and get a fish haircut!

    Still gona change careers?

    Respectfully speaking, I think your SWA buddy has altitude sickness... I understand giving it a shot. You're right there. You live on campus? Corps? I spent most of my time in Walton... doing the engineering thing now. Fortunately, things are pretty good where I am. Makes it even harder to...

    Still gona change careers?

    You got me on that one. I'll have to admit I had a blast delivering for Domino's. I actually stayed after work a few times and rode with some friends (girls!) a few times. The best deal was the tips you'd get when taking a pizza to the construction guys. They'd give me a $20 to go buy them a...

    Still gona change careers?

    Might be a good idea! At least with the CFI you can earn some money while flying and going to college. Would you rather instruct for $10/hr or deliver pizza?!?! I've done both - no question what's more fun. Also, get a non-aviation BS or BA - something you can pay the bills with (accounting...

    Still gona change careers?

    Seattle - I'm in a similar situation as you, although a little farther along. Unfortunately, I'm pessimistic. I think we're out of luck for several, if not 4-6 years. I've essentially resolved myself to not being able to make a change without suffering too much pain (loss on income...

    250 federal air marshals quit

    Because human nature wasn't considered when they dreamed up this job. Who's going to be able to stay alert for hours and hours with nothing happening, be away from your family, etc. I knew it would happen. It will be the same net result as with the airport security. Massive expenditure...

    Wooden Propeller Question

    You may have to periodically retorque the bolts. Sensenich recommends rechecking every 50 hrs. There are also special torquing procedures for new installations (install, torque, loosen, retorque, run for 10 days or 10 cycles and retorque... something like that). Generally, try and keep it...

    slips

    What if you're flying a plane without flaps? Besides, other than loading the fin/rudder, I see no downside. my 2¢
